Which kind of ILB do we need to draft?
A run stuffer or a coverage player?

We could use both, actually, but run stuffers are easier to get as vet FAs.

Re: Which kind of ILB do we need to draft?
Both, the run defense was just OK after Seau got hurt and the pass defense from LB - go back and watch the AFCC game. Although I'm in the minority, I think our base defense will have Vrabel and Colvin starting outside with Bruschi in the role he's played as the strong side run stopping ILB and Thomas starting at the other ILB in Bruschi's old coverage, big play spot. We'll see.

The Pats need a 3 down Lber versatile enough to do both by Year 2.

Re: Which kind of ILB do we need to draft?
We still need an ILB who can cover, but ILB's of the run stuffing ilk are a more pressing need. The signing of AD who is very good in coverage, and can play both inside and outside has effected this.
An ILB who can both stuff the run, and cover well would be ideal, especially with a high round pick.

Re: Which kind of ILB do we need to draft?
Obviously we need both in a player, the question I'm mulling is which player fits my Pats "profile" and can more easily develop his weaker run or coverage skill set?

With our DLine I'd rather have a better coverage player
